Hamas published yesterday an 18-minute long pre-recorded press conference in English about their side of the story.

This has received zero media attention anywhere in the western press.

So in the interest of full transparency, here is the entire press conference.

Watch the video through the link above.

Well, we’re all that way about most everything. There are literally an unlimited number of things to know about. I’d much rather recognize I’ ignorant in it and consciously decide which ones I’m going to continue to be ignorant on; when I can.

If there was a clear answer here, I’d have gotten similar stories/perspectives from my queries. Maybe one with better trustworthy references. Instead I got two versions of history which each neglect certain parts, both of which appear to be factually correct, and both of which try to make the other side look like monsters. Since I am going to die one day, without ever being able to impact this situation, it is reasonable to bow out.

(As an example of where this has worked before, similar prior questions on things UBI, Georgian tax, and Taiwan have changed my mind.)

Yeah, no. Speak for yourself. It's just an excuse to be ignorant.

If there was a clear answer here...

There are actually pretty clear answers to "what caused the Israeli-Palestinian conflict", but you've already demonstrated that you're unwilling to learn about it, despite efforts from other comrades who have more patience than I.

Since I am going to die one day, without ever being able to impact this situation, it is reasonable to bow out.

Another bullshit cop out excuse to be ignorant. Must be nice to be that privileged to live like this.
